What do you think about the airbnb ipo?
I read already 2-3 articles on big news and 1 says the price for the abnb stock will be about 45$
zerohedge said yesterday that it will be about 80$?
is there a method to know exactly before the ipo itsef?

God bless you for bringing this to my attention

Are you 100% sure about that? I don't believe that entrepreneurs selling their dot com businesses get away with 0% tax. I certainly didn't.

The tax code is complicated. I'm pretty sure the capital gains doesn't count towards your AGI it terms of taxing your other income, but it certainly counts in terms of which capital gains bracket you will be taxed at.

If you're sitting on a capital gains of $70k+, talk to a tax accountant to make double-sure you're not going to get fined stiff penalties for not abiding by the tax codes.

Thanks, I will. Don't have a shell though. By the way, I actually meant to send you love, it was not fake but I needed to imaginatively equalize your essence with mine in order to be purely sincere.

Yes, I was. You can fake the "high ground," but just do yourself a favor and crawl back in your shell. Try not to be a jerk to people for no reason next time.

You're looking for a fight. You're not getting it from here. Much of love to you nevertheless.

I didn't bring it up, you did, you dunce. Just because you decided to ninjaedit doesn't mean people didn't see it.

Funny, you criticize others for not being "techies" through subtle jabs yet you were so insecure of your own understanding that you had to switch to a OS with a small market share to avoid being owned. You don't see the humor in that?

No way, you don't say?

If you brought this up then I'll put it on bold: a user's day to day OS somehow determines their computer competency.

This is true. I switched to full linux in all of my computers 2 years ago when I had too many bitcoins lying around in my windows machines. Knowing that windows is a giant security vulnerability, a bitcoin techie should never want to use this OS.

The demented meathead on my avatar is me. It's a nice trap for people who judge by stereotypes and you just fell for it.

I never insulted you (at least not on purpose). But sorry for bringing up a painful memory or something. Just thought that others may learn something from your mistakes.

Smart people also have stupid ideas, you know. Unless you hold anyone with a famous name to be infallible.

Edit: Yes, I've been aware of your type. It's evident when things get slightly political. Unfortunately opposing social and monetary philosophies can not reconcile as they're generally one in the same.

The Basic Income idea was also supported by people like Milton Friedman. Big Socialist, that one.

I'm actually here for two reasons: 1. I think Bitcoin is like a game played with money, not something serious that has any really-long-term future and 2. I've noticed a lot of extreme right-wing pseudo-libertarians around and I'd be happy to take some of their money.

Socialists using bitcoin. Oh the irony. 

Work should only be for what interests you, but I'd hate getting my basic income from any form of property - I think property rights are grossly over-rewarded in this economy and work is grossly under-rewarded. If work were properly rewarded - especially automation work performed by past generations, which shouldn't make just a few current owners rich but rather all of society - there would be enough money to ensure a decent Unconditional Basic Income for everyone, so that no one would have to take a job they disliked just for fear of losing their basic livelihood. Then we could have everyone working on what really interested them, which would lead to far more creative output and higher-quality products and services across the board.

His name is Hyena and his avatar is of some demented meathead with a gasmask. You had higher expectations? He also edited his post, after acting like a user's day to day OS somehow determines their computer competency.

You really expect me to give you details after you insult me? Don't really know what brought it on....

Yes, I was being sarcastic. Nevertheless, I would still want to know how did you get hacked as I didn't spot the attack vector in the text you referred to.

FTFY 

I store over 90% of my wealth in BTC.

*ahem* that may be because I am not wealthy, and anything is more than 90% of zero. But hey

Let's see.  Keep it for a year.  Quit my job.  Make less than $70,000 (joint) in a year.  Pay that 0% tax rate.  Whew, those taxes are brutal...  

Here is the bracket for 2013:

January 1, 2013 -

Hold   1 Year or More      

10% tax rate = 0% capital gains tax rate   
15% tax rate = 0% capital gains tax rate
25% tax rate = 15% capital gains tax rate
28% tax rate = 15% capital gains tax rate
33% tax rate = 15% capital gains tax rate
35% tax rate = 18.8% capital gains tax rate
39.6% tax rate = 23.8% capital gains tax rate

Note: Obama is trying to change this for 2014 but they didn't get it done in time for 2013, so keep that in mind.

Here are the current Adjusted Gross Incomes for these brackets:

2013 Tax Brackets (For taxes due April 15, 2014)
Tax rate    Single filers       Married filing jointly or qualifying widow/widower    Married filing separately    Head of household
10%      Up to $8,925      Up to $17,850                     Up to $8,925         Up to $12,750
15%      $8,926 - $36,250   $17,851 - $72,500                  $8,926- $36,250      $12,751 - $48,600
25%      $36,251 - $87,850   $72,501 - $146,400                  $36,251 - $73,200      $48,601 - $125,450
28%      $87,851 - $183,250   $146,401 - $223,050                  $73,201 - $111,525      $125,451 - $203,150
33%      $183,251 - $398,350   $223,051 - $398,350                  $111,526 - $199,175      $203,151 - $398,350
35%      $398,351 - $400,000   $398,351 - $450,000                  $199,176 - $225,000      $398,351 - $425,000
39.6%   $400,001 or more   $450,001 or more                  $225,001 or more      $425,001 or more

Long term capital gains (held more than 1 year) do not count toward AGI.  Short term (held less than 1 year) do.  Also, get a house payment (interest) and some kids to offset your AGI.  Also, donate to your favorite charity instead of the goverment if you like them better to get into a lower bracket.

It may be meaning lost or misconveyed in text but are you trying to be a slight asshole by writing that? You could have just said:

"So, how did you get hacked?"
